"All St. Albans Windows are made using the Super Spacer Seal System"
We Have More Than Edged Out the Competition...
We have peaked the performance level of every clear and LOW-E glass unit on the market today.
Introducing the most advanced insulating glass system for today's most advanced windows...
SUPER SPACER!® (click here to see a diagram)
20% of glass area is affected by cold edge.
WARMING THE WINDOW EDGE
- What causes window condensation to always start near the edge of the glass?
- What is responsible for the window's actual insulation performance (measured by the R-value) to be normally 15-20% worse than advertised?
The answer to both questions is the metal spacer that holds the glass panes together. At the edge of an insulating glass unit, the glass is physically connected and stabilized by a metal spacer. However, the metal connection also permits heat loss by conduction, so much that current glass edges can lose energy at a rate 120% greater than the center of the glass.
To improve a window's insulation capability, "cold edges" can be replaced with less conductive "warm edge" spacers.
Why should we worry about edge of glass insulation?
Warming the glass will:
- Condensation is still possible if humidity levels are too high.
- Increase overall insulation value of already good windows.
- Save more energy through increased insulation.
Simply put, condensation is a function of the thermal efficiency of windows, particularly the edge of the glass. The solution to condensation formation on glass is to increase the thermal efficiency of the edge of glass, the window's weak link.
Super Spacer Structural Form virtually eliminates condensation. Condensation often causes extensive water damage to window wills and frames, curtains and carpets, and even paint and walls.
When it is cold outside, a metal spacer can drain the energy of your high performance windows. Super Spacer's patented structural foam design dramatically reduces condensation and delivers the clearest picture in warm edge technology.
